Definitions

  • the present invention relates to a syringe, particularly to a small volume syringe suitable for ophthalmic injections.
  • the invention also extends to a method of assembling such a syringe.
  • medicaments are delivered to a patient in a syringe from which the user can dispense the medicament. If medicament is delivered to a patient in a syringe it is often to enable the patient, or a caregiver, to inject the medicament. It is important for patient safety and medicament integrity that the syringe and the contents of that syringe are sufficiently sterile to avoid infection, or other, risks for patients. Sterilisation can be achieved by terminal sterilisation in which the assembled product, typically already in its associated packaging, is sterilised using heat or a sterilising gas.
  • the sterilisation can pose difficulties that are not necessarily associated with larger syringes. Changes in pressure, internal or external to the syringe, can cause parts of the syringe to move unpredictably, which may alter sealing characteristics and potentially compromise sterility. Incorrect handling, including assembly, of the syringe can also pose risks to product sterility.
  • WO2011/006877 discloses methods and systems for the terminal sterilization and surface decontamination of prefilled containers (e.g. syringes) containing sensitive drug products, such as proteins (e.g. ranibizumab) which may be temperature or radiation sensitive, and thus not suitable for terminal sterilization by classical methods involving steam or gamma rays.
  • the methods include terminal sterilization by exposing prefilled containers in secondary packaging to tunable-beta radiation, or to controllable vaporized-hydrogen peroxide.
  • WO2007/035621 discloses a device for use in intravitreal administration of ocular agents.
  • the device comprises: a syringe comprising a barrel having a proximal and a distal end and a volume of 1 mL or less, adapted to contain an injection solution wherein said solution contains a subvisible particulate count of less than 50 particles per mL when contained in the barrel; a Luer lock tip attached to the distal end of the barrel; a needle having a gauge of 27 or narrower, comprising a cannula attached to a Luer lock hub for attachment to the Luer lock tip, wherein the needle requires a penetration force of less than 100 g to penetrate scleral tissue; a syringe tip cap attached to the Luer lock tip for sealing a solution contained in the barrel; and a needle tip shield adapted to attach to the Luer lock hub and enclose the needle.
  • US2006/0293270 discloses a method for treating an ocular disease (such as macular degeneration) in a patient comprising administering less than 0.3 mg of the Macugen TM anti-VEGF aptamer, for instance by intravitreal injection of 90pL of aptamer solution.
  • an ocular disease such as macular degeneration
  • the present invention provides a terminally-sterilised syringe, the syringe comprising a body, a stopper and a plunger, the body comprising an outlet at an outlet end and the stopper being arranged within the body such that a front surface of the stopper and the body define a variable volume chamber from which a fluid can be expelled though the outlet, the plunger comprising a plunger contact surface at a first end and a rod extending between the plunger contact surface and a rear portion, the plunger contact surface arranged to contact the stopper but not couple thereto, such that the plunger can be used to force the stopper towards the outlet end of the body, reducing the volume of the variable volume chamber, but not to move the stopper away from the outlet end.
  • Providing a plunger which does not couple to the stopper reduces the chances for incorrect handling of the syringe as the plunger can be withdrawn from the syringe without movement of the stopper away from the outlet end. This prevents a user from accidentally moving the plunger (and therefore a stopper connected thereto) and causing non-sterile air (or other fluid) to be drawn into the syringe, or causing movement of the stopper to a non-sterile area.
  • the body of the syringe may be a substantially cylindrical shell, or may include a substantially cylindrical bore with a non-circular outer shape.
  • the outlet end of the body includes an outlet through which a fluid housed within the variable volume chamber can be expelled as the volume of said chamber is reduced.
  • the outlet may comprise a projection from the outlet end through which extends a channel having a smaller diameter than that of the variable volume chamber.
  • the outlet may be adapted, for example via a luer lock type connection, for connection to a needle or other accessory such as a sealing device which is able to seal the variable volume chamber, but can be operated, or removed, to unseal the variable chamber and allow connection of the syringe to another accessory, such as a needle. Such a connection may be made directly between the syringe and accessory, or via the sealing device.
  • the body extends along a first axis from the outlet end to a rear end.
  • the body may be made from a plastic material or from glass, or from any other suitable material and may include indicia on a surface thereof to act as an injection guide.
  • the stopper may be made from rubber, silicone or other suitable resiliently deformable material.
  • the stopper provides a sealing function by defining the rear of the variable volume chamber with a fluid tight seal which also provides a sterility seal.
  • the stopper may be substantially cylindrical and the stopper may include one or more circumferential ribs around an outer surface of the stopper, the stopper and ribs being dimensioned such that the ribs form a substantially fluid tight seal with an internal surface of the syringe body.
  • the front surface of the stopper may be any suitable shape, for example substantially planar, or substantially conical.
  • the stopper may be substantially solid or may include recesses.
  • the rear surface of the stopper may include a substantially central recess which may be any shape provided the sealing function of the stopper is not compromised.
  • Said central recess may be substantially cylindrical in shape or said central recess may include an initial bore having a first diameter, the initial bore leading from the rear surface into the stopper to an inner recess having a second diameter, the second diameter being larger than the first diameter.
  • Such a central recess could be used to connect a plunger to the stopper using a snap fit feature in a known manner. Such a design allows a substantially standard stopper design to be used and this can reduce the parts cost for the syringe.
  • the stopper may be substantially rotationally symmetric about an axis through the stopper.
  • the plunger comprises a plunger contact surface and extending from that a rod extends from the plunger contact surface to a rear portion.
  • the rear portion may include a user contact portion adapted to be contacted by a user during an injection event.
  • the user contact portion may comprise a substantially disc shaped portion, the radius of the disc extending substantially perpendicular to the axis along which the rod extends.
  • the user contact portion could be any suitable shape.
  • the axis along which the rod extends may be the first axis, or may be substantially parallel with the first axis.
  • the plunger contact surface is adapted to make contact with the rear surface of the stopper, but not couple thereto.
  • the plunger contact surface may be substantially planar and may be substantially circular in shape.
  • the plunger contact surface may be substantially circular with an outer diameter less than the internal diameter of the body.
  • the diameter of the plunger contact surface may be substantially equal to the diameter of the rear surface of the stopper with which it is to make contact.
  • the plunger contact surface may be adapted to present a substantially rotationally symmetrical surface to the rear surface of the stopper as this assists in providing a repeatable and evenly distributed force to the stopper during use which can help to prevent distortions.
  • the plunger contact surface may not be planar and may comprise an annular contact surface to contact the stopper at or adjacent an out edge thereof.
  • the plunger contact surface may comprise a plurality of arms which extend from the plunger rod to make contact with the stopper.
  • the plunger contact surface may be substantially rotationally symmetrical in any of the above, or other, embodiments.
  • the rod may have a round or cross-form cross-section.
  • a cross-form cross section may be formed from ribs extending along at least part of the rod. The ribs may extend substantially parallel with the axis along which the rod extends.
  • the cross-form cross section provides rigidity to the rod without significantly increasing manufacturing complexity.
  • the rod may be manufactured from any suitable material, or combination of materials, and in one embodiment is made from a plastic material.
  • the rod may be substantially rigid under expected use conditions. Although some flexing of the materials in the plunger is unavoidable in a bulk manufactured product, it is advantageous that the rod cannot flex significantly during use, particularly for low volume, accurate, injections as any flexing could lead to unpredictable dosing results.
  • the syringe may include a backstop arranged at a rear portion of the body.
  • the backstop may be removable from the syringe. If the syringe body includes terminal flanges at the end opposite the outlet end the backstop may be configured to substantially sandwich terminal flanges of the body as this prevent movement of the backstop in a direction parallel to the first axis.
  • the rod may comprise at least one rod shoulder directed away from the outlet end and the backstop may include a backstop shoulder directed towards the outlet end to cooperate with the rod shoulder to substantially prevent movement of the rod away from the outlet end when the backstop shoulder and rod shoulder are in contact. Restriction of the movement of the rod away from the outlet end can help to maintain sterility during terminal sterilisation operations, or other operations in which the pressure within the variable volume chamber or outside the chamber may change. During such operations any gas trapped within the variable volume chamber, or bubbles that may form in a liquid therein, may change in volume and thereby cause the stopper to move. Movement of the stopper away from the outlet could result in the breaching of a sterility zone created by the stopper.
  • sterility zone as used herein is used to refer to the area within the syringe that is sealed by the stopper from access from either end of the syringe. This may be the area between a seal of the stopper, for example a circumferential ridge, closest to the outlet and a seal of the stopper, for example a circumferential ridge, furthest from the outlet. The distance between these two seals defines the sterility zone of the stopper since the stopper is installed into the syringe barrel in a sterile environment.
  • a terminal sterilisation process used to sterilise the complete article may use a known process such as an Ethylene Oxide or a Hydrogen Peroxide sterilisation process.
  • the inclusion of one or more circumferential ribs on the stopper can alter the force required to cause the stopper to move from a stationary position and can also alter the sealing properties of the stopper.
  • the stopper may comprise at least a front circumferential rib and a rear circumferential rib and those ribs may be separated in a direction along the first axis by at least 3mm, by at least 3.5 mm, by at least 3.75mm or by 4mm or more.
  • One or more additional ribs (for example 2, 3, 4 or 5 additional ribs, or between 1-10, 2-8, 3-6 or 4-5 additional ribs) may be arranged between the front and rear ribs. In one embodiment there are a total of three circumferential ribs.
  • a stopper with such an enhanced sterility zone can also provide protection for the injectable medicament during a terminal sterilisation process.
  • Some medicaments example a biological medicament, could be damaged by exposure to Ethylene Oxide.
  • More ribs on the stopper, or a greater distance between the front and rear ribs, can reduce the potential exposure of the medicament to the sterilising agent.
  • the rod shoulder may be arranged within the external diameter of the rod, or may be arranged outside the external diameter of the rod. By providing a shoulder that extends beyond the external diameter of the rod, but still fits within the body, the shoulder can help to stabilise the movement of the rod within the body by reducing movement of the rod perpendicular to the first axis.
  • the rod shoulder may comprise any suitable shoulder forming elements on the rod, but in one embodiment the rod shoulder comprises a substantially disc shaped portion on the rod.
  • the variable volume chamber when arranged with the plunger contact surface in contact with the stopper and the variable volume chamber is at its intended maximum volume there is a clearance of no more than about 2mm between the rod shoulder and backstop shoulder. In some embodiments there is a clearance of less than about 1.5 mm and in some less than about 1mm. This distance is selected to substantially limit or prevent excessive rearward (away from the outlet end) movement of the stopper.
  • variable volume chamber has an internal diameter greater than 5mm or 6mm and less than 3mm or 4mm.
  • the internal diameter may be between 3mm and 6mm, or between 4mm and 5mm.
  • the syringe is dimensioned so as to have a nominal maximum fill volume of between about 0.25ml and 0.75ml, or between 0.4ml and 0.6ml.
  • the length of the body of the syringe may be less than 70mm, less than 60mm or less than 50mm. In one embodiment the length of the syringe body is between 45mm and 50mm, the internal diameter is between 4mm and 5mm and the fill volume is between 0.1ml and 0.3ml of liquid.
  • the syringe is suitable for ophthalmic injections, and as such has a suitably small volume.
  • the syringe may be adapted for ophthalmic injections.
  • the syringe may also be silicone free, or substantially silicone free, or may comprise a low level of silicone as lubricant. In one embodiment, the syringe may meet USP789.
  • the variable volume chamber of the syringe is filled with an injectable medicament comprising an active suitable for the treatment of an ocular disease.
  • ocular diseases include choroidal neovascularisation, age-related macular degeneration (both wet and dry forms), macular edema secondary to retinal vein occlusion (RVO) including both branch RVO (bRVO) and central RVO (cRVO), choroidal neovascularisation secondary to pathologic myopia (PM), diabetic macular edema (DME), diabetic retinopathy, and proliferative retinopathy.
  • the medicament comprises a biologic active.
  • the biologic active may be an antibody (or fragment thereof) or a non-antibody protein.
  • the medicament comprises a VEGF antagonist.
  • VEGF antagonists include ranibizumab (Lucentis TM ), bevacizumab (Avastin TM ), aflibercept (Eylea TM , also known as VEGF-Trap Eye), conbercept (KH902 from Chengdu Kanghong Biotechnologies Co. Ltd, described as FP3 in WO2005/121176 ) and the related glycoform KH906 or pazopanib (from GlaxoSmithKline).
  • the syringe is filled with between about 0.01ml and about 2ml (for example between about 0.05ml and about 1ml, between about 0.1ml and about 0.5ml) of an injectable medicament.
  • a dosage volume i.e. the volume of medicament intended for delivery to the patent
  • the syringe is filled with a dosage volume (i.e. the volume of medicament intended for delivery to the patent) of between about 0.01ml and about 2ml (e.g. between about 0.05ml and about 1ml, between about 0.1ml and about 0.5ml) of an injectable medicament.
  • the dosage volume is 0.05ml or 0.03ml (0.5mg or 0.3mg) of a 10mg/ml injectable medicament solution; for Eylea, the dosage volume is 0.05ml of a 40mg/ml injectable medicament solution.
  • the outlet may be reversibly sealed to maintain sterility of the medicament.
  • This sealing may be achieved through the use of a sealing device as is known in the art.
  • a sealing device for example the OVS TM system which is available from Vetter Pharma International GmbH.

  • the invention also extends to a sealed package containing a sterile pre-filled syringe substantially as described herein.
  • the backstop may be coupled to the syringe body after the plunger has been arranged in the body and the rod shoulder is arranged between the outlet end and the backstop shoulder.
  • step i) and iii) are carried out in a sterile, or substantially sterile, environment. At some point between the filling step and the final assembly being sealed into packaging the syringe is removed from the sterile, or substantially sterile, environment. A terminal sterilisation step can then be conducted on the packaged product.
  • the plunger rod is dropped into the syringe body. This is a simple operation and makes use of gravity rather than any automated assembly equipment. This is made possible because the rod does not need to be manipulated or forced to couple with the stopper.
  • the invention also provides a plunger suitable for use in the syringe or method described above.
  • Figure 1 shows a view from a side of a syringe 1 comprising a body 2, plunger 4, backstop 6 and a sealing device 8.

  • the rod 26 comprises a disc shaped portion 46, the disc shaped portion 46 extending radially beyond the ribs 44 and also forming the rod shoulder 32.
  • the ribs 44 may be substantially solid, or may include gaps 48.
  • the disc portion 46 may be solid, or may include gaps 50. Gaps 48,50 may be used to facilitate gas flow within the body 2 if necessary for sterilization, or other, purposes.
  • Figure 4 shows a cross section though a syringe body 2 and rod 26.
  • the rod 26 includes four longitudinal ribs 44 and the angle between the ribs is 90°.
  • Figure 5 shows a detailed view of a stopper 10 showing a conical shaped front surface 16 and three circumferential ribs 52,54,56 around a substantially cylindrical body 58.
  • the axial gap between the first rib 52 and the last rib 56 is about 3mm.
  • the rear surface 60 of the stopper 10 includes a substantially central recess 62.
  • the central recess 62 includes an initial bore 64 having a first diameter.
  • FIG. 6 shows a flow chart for the assembly of a syringe 1.
